I spent the day grinding down some asphalt to get rid of some puddles that just donāt disappear. In the process I was reminded of the folks who work the ER in our local hospital and the hours they put in because of being āshort-staffedā. Is it the lack of money, the distance to the North, the buĀ·reaucĀ·raĀ·cy? Whatever it is thatās causing the lack of medical staff, I am so thankful for the folks that pour out their lives for those of us who need them. Having been a medic in Alaska, Iāve been there and poured out for the thankful and the ungrateful. I loved helping people, having the opportunity to maybe delay a personās passing so that they could love one more day! Next time you cross paths with a doctor, a nurse, a med student, the hospital house cleaning staff, tell them how much you appreciate what they do and who they are. It might be your life they prolong next,š cuz only Jesus saves lives š #hospital #ER #FortStJohn #doctor #nurse #medstudent #housekeeper #bethankful #appreciate https://www.instagram.com/p/B0h9pMqgkIF/?igshid=1i1s7ogexd0ju
